Abstract: We prove a Donsker type approximation theorem for the fractional Brownian motion in the case $H>1/2.$ Using this approximation we construct an elementary market model that converges weakly to the fractional analogue of the Black-Scholes model. We show that there exist arbitrage opportunities in this model. One such opportunity is constructed explicitly.
